PIONEER EDEG NEWS NETWORK
A five-day long national media conference concluded at the Prajapita Brahmakumaris Ishvariya Vishwavidyalaya Abu Road with stress on ethical reporting by media professionals. The governor of Rajasthan Haribhau Kisanrao Bagade had inaugurated the conference emphasising the major role of media as the fourth pillar of democracy in promoting peace in the country.
Over 1,500 media professionals, journalists and content creators from across the country gathered to delve into the role of media for promoting peace and positivity in the society at large.
Presiding as the Chief Guest at the inaugural session, the governor exhorted the Indian media to be positive and keep the nation’s interest as priority while reporting. He said, “To sensationalise the news content, often the media forgets its responsibility of ethical reporting which is not good. Nation’s interest must be the foremost for everyone, be it the media or a politician. People should win elections based on thoughts and national interest and not religion. This will strengthen our democracy.” He quoted former Indian President Abdul Kalam who often questioned why the Indian media was so negative.
Rajayogini BK Jayant, additional administrative head, Brahma Kumaris observed that while the media excels at reporting global conflicts, it often overlooks the equally abundant stories of peace and positive progress across various spheres.
